    Enabling Business Success Using the Business Initiative Questionnaire and Learning, Measurement, and Change Management Principles

    Please join us virtually on Monday, November 6.

    Most strategic initiatives have defined business outcomes tied to a project charter. So why do many initiatives fail? Even better, how would you like to be the partner everyone trusts to help them meet their goals?

    This session introduces a business initiative questionnaire you can use to effectively support your organization's strategic initiatives. You will define three elements critical to the success of any initiative:

    • Business goals
    • Business procedures and skills
    • Implementation and measurement
    The questionnaire provides you with a repeatable process to help you drive success in under 20 questions. It will enable you to:
    • Build connections between the business goals and employee processes and skills
    • Partner with your initiative to determine if the business goals warrant an implementation and measurement plan.
    • Elevate the conversation on key topics of accountability, proficiency, and measurement in the flow of work.
    Examples of how the questionnaire has been used in multiple projects including award winners. All participants will receive the business initiative questionnaire that they can use on their own business initiatives.

    Jay Kasdan, Director of Learning Community and Connection at Fredrickson Learning has worked with many of America’s leading companies to help them design and implement performance solutions. He was the L&D/Change lead for Deluxe Corporation’s SAP implementation that received the American SAP Users Impact Award. He is a PACT Hall of Fame member and teaches Measure Training Results for the University of Minnesota Continuing and Professional Studies.

    The business initiative questionnaire was first presented at the Society for Technical Communicators National Conference and has been used for many strategic initiatives.

    He is a tireless promoter of L&D in the Midwest.

    Effective leaders collaborate, and people who collaborate more are viewed as leaders. The ability to collaborate requires leaders to encourage teamwork and respectful relationships. The best sign of a respectful relationship is getting all of the information out in the open so it can be discussed. In 1 on 1’s and in teams strategic silence can be used to gain more information and help the others come up with even better ideas. Even though T&D professionals are generally collaborative in nature, this program also provides the research that backs it up. This is great information to relay in your leadership trainings! Join Dr. Laura Janusik to learn and practice some of the basic skills of strategic silence.

    Laura Janusik is a dynamic trainer, coach, consultant, speaker and researcher. She is a worldwide  leading expert in teaching and training listening. She uses her MBA and PhD in Communication to help individuals and teams better align their communication through the Power of Listening. As a listening researcher herself for over 20 years, she is familiar with listening research from many disciplines and uses it liberally in her work. Her approach to communication, both verbal and nonverbal, is practical and other-centered and based on research.

    She is a past president of the International Listening Association, and she is published both nationally and internationally. You’ll find her research and ideas cited in publications including Forbes, Harvard Business Review, The Wall Street Journal, NPR, and US News and World Report. In addition to education, Laura was in HR Managements in private industry for 15 years.

    Laura left academia after 20 years to bring the message of listening to a wider audience, and she loves working with business leaders and helping them understand and practice “being on the same page” with their teams. Laura often is brought in as a private coach for employees ranging from entry level to C-suite individuals with great technical skills but poor people skills.

    You can reach Laura through her website, Listening to Change or on LinkedIn.
